Not trying to steal the thread that @ITreefer posted about the ceramic ones so I figured I'd start my own. I'd def prefer the ceramic ones over a 3D printed ones, but the price on these is right (nearly free for me).
I was recently searching for 3D Printed Frag rocks, and generally the ones I found were "uninspiring". They were typically just half circles with no cool design at all. So I decided to make my own and this is what I ended up with. I have two different sized ones, that use different sized frag plugs even. One of them holds four regular frag plugs, while the other holds three miniature ones (found the miniature frag plug size one some website selling ceramic ones but I don't recall where).
The frag rocks are hollow underneath, so they don't displace too much water volume. You can also "glue" them to a rock if you want, but my plan was to put them in the sand. With the frag plugs in them, they don't sit flat (as my purpose was to put them on the sand). They do not float, but the 3D printed frag plugs need to be about 75% solid for them to sink (with nothing else on them)... I will probably stick to the ceramic plugs as they are cheap enough. I also plan on doing more designs / sizes but just finding time is the issue.
I am going to put this on Thingiverse so anyone with a 3D printer can go out and print it also. Just need to get around to that...
